This version of MPD 0.19 has been enhancend with DSD native playback options.
DSD output using DoP is mutually exclusive with native DSD playback. 
Disable DoP output (or do not configure DoP output) if you want native DSD playback.

For MPD 0.18 and older:

dsd_usb	"no"

For MPD 0.19:

dop	"no"

Native DSD playback requires ALSA driver (i.e. linux kernel) and ALSA library
support (ALSA lib >= 1.0.28). See: https://github.com/lintweaker/xmos-native-dsd

Add the following configuration to the appropriate audio_output section(s) of your mpd configuration file (e.g.
/etc/mpd.conf):

audio_output {

	# Normal config parts omitted


	# Disable DSD DoP MPD 0.18 or older
	dsd_usb		"no"

	# Disable DSD DoP MPD 0.19
	dop		"no"

	# Enable native DSD
	dsd_native	"yes"
	# Set DSD native type
	dsd_native_type	"2"

}


Use 'dsd_native_type "2"' for USB DACs that support 32-bit DSD_U32_BE sample
formats (e.g. XMOS based USB DACs and Marantz/Kenwood DACs).

Use 'dsd_native_type "0"' for USB DACs using 8-bit DSD_U8 format like the Botic
driver for the BeagleBone Black.

Enjoy!
